Library Board asks input on naming suggestions

The Naming Committee of the San Antonio Public Library Board of Trustees has received a proposal to name a space at the Central Library after the late Marie Swartz, former Chair of the Library Board of Trustees who passed away on August 23, 2009. At 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 12, the Naming Committee has scheduled a meeting to receive public input on the proposal. The meeting will be held in the Central Library Auditorium, 600 Soledad 78205.

An artist and civic activist, Ms. Swartz chaired the Library Board through the selection of Ricardo Legorreta as the architect for the famed “enchilada red” Central Library.
